Thanks for the info. I finally got my pserver setup working. Here's a short list of my mistakes. Preferably it would be great if yo cut+paste these into your readme to help others. I also have a few questions of these.
In general I get the impression, that to make CVS more popular a setup wizard should be created. The slightest slip in the setup and the system just does not work. The diagnostics is not helpful. For example, when my password file was .passwd as recommended by devguy and not plain passwd, the system appeared to be working. An informational diagnostics message "password file F:\SCM\CVSROOT\passwd does not exist." would have saved a few hours. Does the environment variable/system variable HOME=F:\SCM have any effect? I removed it and CVS works. My advice to anybody who wants to setup: - The missing dll's for release 1.11.1.3 can be found from http://crypto.stanford.edu/~nagendra/projects/StreamAuth/download/golle.zip The next release fixes these. I'm installing cvs repository to F:\SCM, use your own path. - I set the RepositoryPrefix to an empty string. Anything else and I could not get CVS to work. Maybe some examples of it's usage would help. By the way, you cannot do it from the gui, use regedit. - Since prefix is empty, Repository0=F:\SCM I use the NT path, not unix path in my client variable CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:F:\SCM - The password file for me is F:\SCM\CVSROOT\passwd and not .passwd The information that's told in the devguy readme is outdated and CVSROOT directory does indeed mean F:\SCM\CVSROOT, not F:\SCM - The file F:\SCM\CVSROOT\config must have line SystemAuth=no without the comment character #. Again, the devguy comment "Change the line with #SystemAuth=no to SystemAuth=yes if you want to use domain passwords " is quite confusing. My first try #SystemAuth=no didn't quite have the intended meaning. - to use the correct cvs.exe from the cvsnt distribution, Select WinCVS menu "Admin/Preferences" Tab "WinCVS" checkbox "Alternate CVS" and set the file path.

If you have them both your repository is in F:\SCM\F:\SCM, which probably isn't what you want.
